no the kids weren't involved which I'm grateful for, they will be from now on so I'm told. I guess that works for people the not sharing? I'm just not sure it would suit the kids in the long run as mine are the most talkative inquisitive children lol
SereneGreen: if I agree to something I usually stick to it as I could see the logic behind it, and would expect the same in return. If I was in the know I could have prepared my daughter for the inevitable questions she had subtly in advance, hence the reason we agreed this in the first place.
now you know
is it really that bad?
and will knowing that he has moved on damage the relationship you have with him now?
last Ex... his older son, who is 6 yrs old.. told his mum,
"That dad got a new girlfriend"
She wasn't please, That he has move on with his life!
now they are back together

wittyone: Yeh I learned this recently when I went on a couple of dates and little one wanted to know where I was going and who with, and was more worried about why her mum was heading off, so I told her I had a date, she ask what he looked like, I showed her photo, she said did you show him me, lol and turned and said to her 7 yrs old cousin, he is handsome, (in a bit of a surprised voice) lol and that was the end of that. Just a matter of keeping them in the loop, and I had not realised she was worried and wondering what was going on. Ask a few questions since just everyday questions like what did you eat, will you marry him etc lol
So agree with you, better to keep kids in the loop, so its no big deal to them that we date, sometimes.

its an area where you have to thread careful but i think its probably good that he will be introducing it will answer alot of there questions and normalize the situation toVodkaDrinker: now you know

I've been saying for ages to him and others that I'd love to see him happy with someone and I genuinely mean it, I hope it works out for them and it won't damage the relationship my kids happiness means too much for me to let it even if I felt like it would. I just think it's hypocritical to ask one thing of me yet do the opposite himself.is it really that bad?

kids need to be kept in the loop, so it's no big deal or threat to them, and they don't even need to know that much, just answers to their questions, which are usually little questions, which are important to them, and so easy to answer.

that's very true it will alleviate any worries she has and help her relationship with her Dad too! It's nice to get others perspectives in this situation as it's new territory to meSereneGreen: I've been saying for ages to him and others that I'd love to see him happy with someone and I genuinely mean it, I hope it works out for them and it won't damage the relationship my kids happiness means too much for me to let it even if I felt like it would.

Maybe he's just not that serious about her, and doesn't want to involve anybody else?
SereneGreen: She obviously realised she still had feelings for him!
maybe they been together 8 yrs, but slipt up so many time's, both got got there own place's, 6 yrs old son! think he got 2 houses to live! I think it's love/hate relationship, both got short fused!

ive seen both sides of it and i know all the fears that come with it, like if the really like her but it doesn't work out it is a mine field but what are you going to do, it's the reality of families in that situationjimbo79: ive seen both sides of it and i know all the fears that come with it, like if the really like her but it doesn't work out it is a mine field but what are you going to do, it's the reality of families in that situation
I just want to do right by the children and help them feel ok whatever happens with his new situation and when/if my time comes! I guess knowing how much they pick up on will make me more aware going forward wittyone: kids need to be kept in the loop, so it's no big deal or threat to them, and they don't even need to know that much, just answers to their questions, which are usually little questions, which are important to them, and so easy to answer.
